This has got to be one of our greatest hacks on making a DIY Sluice box at home for under $20 bucks and with the newest feature you won't lode any Gold. We call it the Poop Tube Sluice Box and if you know of any improvements, we can make on it then just leave them comments down below, we would love to hear them. and if you want to see another fun and innovative hack we made on the common gold pan, just watch this video ruclips.net/video/bu3bYdcBYAk/видео.html
You replace your pan for adding the water with a hand bailer marine bilge pump. Lightweight and pumps a lot of water. So if you haul in your own water, you won't need a battery and a pump. And you still obtain a good flow and for our Canadian friends, you can run a sluse box without being in violation of logs&frogs. No sediment is going back into the river. Great hack Jeff. Just wait until the comments come in. There's going to be some awesome tweaks to add! Thanks for the video Jeff and Lila. These are always as much fun as they are informative.
My comment disappeared after a commercial.!again:
My local hardware' store loves me .but this system does not work!
Filled 12 buckets of creek gravel/coarse sand and NOTHING but 3 little dark shark' teeth.
Pepe\Ocala, Fl.
@@pepepepito623 - Non-perforated drain pipe works very well for capturing gold. So well in fact, that they can be hard to clean out sometimes. I was always amazed at how I had to tip my drain pipe sluice to vertical to actually get all of the gold out. Shark's teeth, well, that's not gold.
Yes I knw a way but I just forgot how to type in Eng1z{# 🤣
Oh you could use it to drain water away from your tent door. Collect the water and use it to pan or wash your hair - rainwater makes your hair soft and shiny girlfriends. Girlfriends?!? Surely your beautiful wife knows this already!🧚🧙🦸👼🏼🗽🕊️🐦🇺🇲🌕🥰👷👷🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🤶🏼🎅🏾 PEACE 🕊️🕊️🕊️✌🏾
I'm not sure what Jeff does best 🤔 education or entertainment 😂.
He always gets me laughing.
All the best to you all.
Thanks Jeff
you betcha
He makes mean egg n beans too, he even leaves the shells in ! Jeff is the Best friend a budding Gold Miner could have ! His joyful enthusiasm is as addictive as seeing a whole load of Shiney in your pan ! God Bless him !
I live in placer County and i found Gold in my creek!!! Thank You!! Had no idea!! its everywhere!!
Yeeaaahhhhh!!!
That is awesome!
I guess we now know why they call it placer county.
I've been using an old section of Rain guttering for year's, it's been great.
For in a creek, you could use a Tee or Wye. The water goes thru the straight part and you add the dirt thru the top.
great idea
@@AskjeffwilliamsI was thinking something like that.
I like that idea!
No need
Yes sir a Jeff video before church how awesome. Keep preaching my friend. Be safe ✌️ 🙏
I didn't think about adding a shammy. This could possibly work for getting flour gold off the beaches. The state has stopped allowing motorized pumps on beaches. I'll give it a try.
exactly....
I don't understand why this guy doesn't have more subs. Been watching for years. Great content.
Because he's a nut
I was subscribed and had to resub more than once as best I recall there seems to be a gohst in their machine here :') Arg
Jeff, you are a true mining engineer. Great video. Thank you.
Thanks 👍
Great video Jeff. A raised 5 gallon bucket water reservoir with a 1/2 inch fitting at the bottom would deliver approximately 1 minute of flowing water, hands free. This frees up hands to scoop material. Or, use a ball valve, and have a 3/4 inch hole for 30-40 seconds of water flow. Great idea, would love to see more gold hacks from you such as this : )
Big o drainage pipe might work better as it bigger and grooves are deeper.its used for perimeter Fondation drainage
Great idea
I've been watching your videos for a while and these type of diy/budget videos have really changed the game for me. I do it as a seasonal hobby in the creek by my house. Haven't hit any real pay dirt but I found more gold using what I learn and see on your videos.
I've seen a similar idea with a square 4" fence post cut in half length wise. Then use miners moss and some ribbed miners matting.
I'm so glad there are people like this on our 🌎
Made one of those once and found that cleaning it was a bit of a pain. Solution I found was to take a piece of flat-bottom gutter and roll the corrugated into it to rinse out. The corrugated sprays easily into the gutter when on its side, then the gutter runs the cons out smoothly. Make sure to leave a lip over your joint where you tab them together with the rivets so it washed over the gap.
Thanks so much for the Golden Rule shout out. "When everything is the same size, GOLD RULES!!!" It doesn't matter if you are using a spaghetti strainer to a tea bag filter, your little gold will reward you in the vial if it's not getting beat up by big rocks. Live long and prospect!
you betcha Mike ..... great advice my brother
Thanks!
you betcha , thank you
The chamois and the miners Moss is it a good addition to that drainage tube looks interesting Jeff thanks for the video
you betcha
Great stuff making it affordable for everyone to go outside start getting that shinny nice job
Thanks for helping out us folks that don't have much money to invest in supplies, contraptions, machines! Rock crushers, sluce boxes, pans, classifiers, metal detectors no wait, gold level detectors, excetra excetra. It helps to have a cheapish alternative!
I would tell people when buying the hosing, some, in fact many, have little slits in the plastic where you can loose the gold out. So check that it's solid or slit less!
I could do this tomorrow! So excited. Goid night's sleep in order.
Glad you two made it back safe and sound from Greece! What a trip!! Hope it was wonderful.
thanks ...yes it was ...so much good food
My new favorite channel! I love Jeffs energy. I can be in a bad mood but that all changes when i watch these videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Jeff!
You are so welcome!
I work for a company that makes hoses we make around 40 different kinds from pool to hi vacuum iv tested all of them and you can take a pool hose cut it open get it warm and it works perfect as ruffles in a sluice
Would you first use weeping tile, and use the pool hose for finer concentrates?
@@coryh7209 not really sure tbh I manly used them at the top of the sluce to catch the bigger stuff but that's a good idea I will have to try that
Thanks, Jeff! Necessity is the mother of invention. Have you made a book on your teachings yet? That would be pure Gold!
yes it is huh ....yes we have and working on Book #2
I would purchase that book, filled with ideas!
Poop tube has been in my kit since the '90s. Slightly different setup - three sections that snap together cause I cut only one third from the top. Piled rock against it to keep the current from taking it. Yours looks just fine. Glad Slim is doin yer thinkin for ya!!
I know...right
Nice!!! I made something similar at my old place to just hang out on the porch and run buckets of paydirt
It would have been interesting to see a breakdown of gold collected in miner's moss versus the corrugated pipe.
I would say that most was captured up in the miners moss
Hi Jeff id just like to say thankyou and and i appreciate all the videos you've made you inspired me to pan in dirty water getting over that you cant see whats in the water took a long time getting used to that im glad i did your technique i started on a conglomerate river system where i found many coins clay forged chines marbles left by coal miners militia bullets and i wanted to say thank you so much for being there and not upset you and I know your Pop's smiling down on you ❤❤❤ your fan always Dr Ziggy
you betcha ...its always our pleasure my friend.... thanks Dr Ziggy
Cool setup indeed fam. I try making a rocker box out of a couple 5 gallon buckets. It ended up looking and working more like a rocker high baker 😂. I just cut some buckets in half. It works but it can be better 😂. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
thats great ...show some pics or vids of it
@@Askjeffwilliams I'll repost it up for you fam 🤠. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Just repost it up fam. Hope you like it 😊. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Watching your channel actually got me to learn how to pan for gold. Love it but there isn't much gold here in flat Indiana so I have been buying pay dirt. I have tried panning in the Wabash river. Guys drag dredge floats up and down the river. I've heard they find gold, but they call it flood gold.
thats great
Yes - the sluice box at the store costs way too much, will definitely make try of these first!
I know. And I already have to buy a metal detector...
I've learned so much from your amazing informative videos jeff. More than any other. Thank you for blessing us with your knowledge and witt.
you betcha
"AU" let's go and yes we have another gimmick .... you the man, Jeff✌
thanks
Put a "Y" , ok a fitting that has a straight and 45 degree "Y" above your elbow, one for water source entry the other for material to sluice.
Wow wee that's awesome.
It makes sleucing more within my means .
In my opinion there still isn't a better Christmas comedy than Chevy Chase in National Lampoons Christmas vacation. 😂😂
Does anyone know if miners moss matting is the same as 3M's Nomad matt typically used in doormats? It really seems to be the same stuff.
3M stands for Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, they make lots of mining products still. Makes sense you saw it there!
yes, it is the same stuff. Many other brands of miner's moss though aka vinyl looped matting/carpet.
Hey Jeff, would scotchbright pad work in place of miners moss?
yes
I love the channel man!!! You do an awesome job! 👌 🎉
Thank you so much 👍
Clever and inexpensive, thanks so much for sharing
You are so welcome!
Wish I could share some of my pictures with you been using corrugated in my sluice for 10 years I run the corrugated at the top to feed and matting below with riffles to make sure I catch the finest gold which is mostly what we have here in Michigan. The wonderful thing about it is the simplicity of it
exactly
A genius sluice invention ❤
Awesome 👏 Jeff..
Set up a Gutter box on top and A Water Foot pump on the top..
Cheers Brother from another Mother.👍⛏️
TONY !!!!!!! Thanks my brother from another mother .... great idea .....Cheers mate
I'm turning a walk behind trencher machine into a dredge! I'm attaching a sluice box and a belt driven water pump that runs off the to the trenchers engine! I added large ATV tires to this thing so it floats if the water is too deep and keeps the engine from being snuffed out! It moves really nice in rocky creeks!
I plan on building one. Thanks for your great video!
Wouldn't a hand heald "pin pointer" metal detector be helpful for finding gold that ends up in the box or stuck in the moss or cloth?
You rock 🪨 Jeff!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and personality!! Always love your videos 👏 👏 😂
I appreciate that! Rock on my brother
I got the same scale works great use it to weigh my kratom almost 60 and ot helps with the acks and pain a lot
What works better drain tube or bucket. ??
I used a black tube pipe when I was 18 as my first sluice… I couldn’t afford a real one yet and I told myself I’d save up the first few grams I find to buy a real one ☝️
I still have the original sluice I first bought with that gold haha
But I can’t tell you how many of those black tubes I’ve found in the mountains
Way the heck out miles on creeks and rivers
They make a great quick/cheap sluice but pls all prospectors remember to pack out what you pack in!!!
Thanks again for all the great tips and hacks Jeff!!
You took me back to my early days haha 😊
They're all over the upper reaches of the E. Fork San Gabriel.
always my pleasure
Great idea! About how much material do you think could be run through this before you need to clean it in the pan? Ideally you wouldnt have to start and stop over and over but I'm sure that it gets clogged and ineffective eventually. I'm not very experienced btw fyi etc.
Depends on how much heavy material you have?!?
Hey Mr. Jeff!
I hope all ya'll doing good out that way! I'm having a time with the list of materials for the powder gold recovery buckets like the 4" fitting with a flange...is that made out of pvc and is it a fitting that mounts on the plywood under the toilet?
I have the 3 buckets, the paint stirrer, and the screen. I know theres a lot more items. I need to know what they are called and where you can find them please ?
I will try this one now. Thank you so much. There's a lot of powder gold here! Villa Rica Georgia..."The City Of Gold! I'm hoping to recover some of that !😊
you betcha
Ok you got a subscriber for life your creativity and humor is on another level
Might try it this summer
Great idea. Thanks for sharing, Jeff.
you betcha
Used poop tube to process beach sand years ago (30). Worked great and cheap with gravity fed water from a creek nearby. Recovered about half an ounce and got bored with it and the sand stopped concentrating where I was getting it.
I have done that but I did not think about the 90 and Shamie that part is very cool thanks jeff
you betcha
Good stuff and a fun video, Jeff. We hung out with Mike Pung many years ago in New Mexico at the Caballo Mountains. Fun day. The video is around here somewhere.👍👍
thanks you two....Mike is always a lot of fun to hang out with ....you two be safe out there and keep them vids a coming
Jeff, you liked my sutherlands comment so thank you for reading what your fans have to say!! Knowing that you actually see these comments I really want to tell you that you're so smart & youre very funny!! We love your personality, so thats why we love your uploads sir. Your videos are the best!! Thank you for taking time out of your life to give us entertainment and knowledge that we'll love to sit back, relax, & watch you earn those little gold pickers. You deserve gold bars my friend i hope one day youll have just that
you betcha ...we read all of them.... thanks really appreciate that .....always our pleasure
Once many years ago we found gold under a downspout in Colorado. Yep. Seems like all those years of weather in Colorado was wearing the gold off the capitol. Flour gold for sure, but a good amount. Don't tell them I sent ys.😊
I'm building one tomorrow. I'll try it this weekend and let you know how it goes. As always thanks for your inspiring videos
I kade one of these with flexible v section corrugated tube in a highbanker confuguration. Worked reasonably well.
Wife and I got our first claim, wish us luck! It’s in the trinity alps! Let’s go!
WOW THAT'S REALLY GREAT. 😮😮👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ohhhh Yeahhhhhh❤ another great show and a light weight hack of a sluce.and as always Sunny Jeff we love ya and happy holidays to you and yours looks to me yur back in the saddle brother.😊
thanks , really appreciate that
Ty so much for the help from a rookie prospector I found my best find yet with your advice
That is awesome! we love to hear that .....
I don't gold pan or ever see myself trying to gold pan but your energy and character is very amusing And entertaining, subscribed and liked! Discovery channel Worthy in my opinion!
Do you think it would catch more tiny gold sand if you sand the inside of all the grooves moving the sand paper side to side in that homemade sluice box? I saw some prospectors sand their gold pans to give them a rough surface to catch more tiny gold pieces.
yes you do
I've been watching you for years on the tube ,all of your vids are awesome ya definitely know what your talking about,thanks teach..👍🤠
Awesome idea! I'm working on some black sand from the creek right now!
Awesome. I'm hooked on your videos. Thanks Jeff!
you betcha
Another great video Jeff!!!
The ShamWow guy would be proud. By the way, what ever happened to that guy?
🤔😃
I think he is working on Epic Rap Battles of History
I'm gonna try this. Thank you.
Please do! and keep us posted
Hey Jeff, have you seen my “poor man’s” sluice? I got a couple of videos demonstrating it on my channel. I used the rain gutter pipe with deep grooves. I haven’t lost any gold yet! Take care!
we will check it out
Been using one for 20 years, they make the best drop riffle/classifier, your using the wrong tube though, no holes its also solid. just cut it in half
This is corrugated drainage piping used in French Drains. It looks great for gold filtering!
Nice video
What kind of shamy material cotton or polyester or mixed
Think y
Is there a way to make this so I can use the natural water flow in a creek and do away with 90 at the end was curious Mr williams
yes
I could see someone placing this unit in a small creek and/or culvert to collect any Au during water flow. I think you said something similar to this idea?
yes people do that all the time
That was awesome Jeff. I couldn't ask for more.
Thanks man I constructing one for my 2024 new present 😅
Made one in the 80's. Works great for super fine gold!
Awsome Jeff .. this is a must try for my broke ass .. kern river and the Angeles crest is perfect t to try it out at my cliff jump spot not a well know one .😊
Jeff great idea. Do you think if you built one with several pieces like 20 foot long that it would work better and be able to assemble it easily 😊
Cool contraption. Works well. I might give it a try
Awesome Video! ~ ~ ~ Nice one bro, thats super cool!
Do you think this or the drill hack is better for fine gold? I have dirt that I panned trugh and nothing. Wanted to try one of these
Drill hack
@Askjeffwilliams thanks! Just panned it out, nothing. Going to try drill hack and pan out whatever is left. Hopefully I missed something!
very clever🤔Come to south Arizona sometime :-)
will do
@@Askjeffwilliams I've been checking out a place called Greaterville. You can still see some old buildings and some really beautiful scenery too. Rolling hills with big oak tree and sycamore trees.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
good morning SWM
*ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.....KUDOS JEFF!!*
And if you take the 90 off Jeff and put them and around some rocks where the water the current is traveling, you can leave it there for several days or maybe a week or 2 and then go back and check onmatt. This is gilbert ramos I love your videos
thank you so much! this very good idea i will try it
I live in a “non gold producing district “ NEPA , so I’m a little crazy and dig holes in my yard with my Excavator cause it has things I’ve never seen anywhere else , lots of white clay and ancient river gravels unlike I’ve ever seen . But I find this brick red rock so filled with mica or something sparkly with tight grains , what’s weird is it’s tan exterior not red on outside so it turns tan & black from oxidation I believe , but so deep red and full of shiny flakes of mica maybe idk . Just wonder what it is ? Brick red color with like white quartz chunks in it . Hematite? But I panned some other stuff last night and found a bunch of little Gold last night , it’s so fun to just mess around . God I wish I can find chunks of gold like that here lol
Brecciated agate?
Scarn?
Ryolite
The same thing can be done with a sweeper hose that has the Shop-Vac style hose
just found your channel love your energy...
Would that system of of gold collecting also be playable to capturing gold dust? If not is their another unique and different method for tha that challenge of opportunity?t? Respectfully answer 👃
Heck Yeahhh 👋🤠
I built my first sluice box with one of these years ago. It almost always outperforms my regular sluices. You can also rig them to be used as a gravity sluice in a stream!
Im electrician and im using the electric gutter cover, i dont know if i say correct because im from Spain, but its the best right now for me, but your idea is amazing and easy to carry anywhere, congrats for your videos ;)
Very cool! thanks
Great hack, J. Dub
cool beans my brother
We use an 8 foot section of the same style but much larger drainage pipe as a shovel in sluice. Will take as much material as two guys can shovel, no classifier needed in most water flows.
Thanks Jeff for this incredible hack. I am building mine as my 2024 new year gift to myself.
This is really cool and it's got me interested I tried to stay in touch with your sight so I learned more thank you respectfully yours. Moe
